Finding Books

RSS Feeds to New Library Resources
Learn what new books have been added to the UCI collections by subject categories.

Use Library Search for local access to books in all formats.

Melvyl This new MELVYL is more of a discovery tool as it shows output for not only books and journal titles, but for book chapters, journal articles, media, and other formats and entries. The default is the University of California Libraries but users can also change that to search the global inventory of books in WorldCat and sort by UCI holdings first and by distance from UCI. You can also choose to use the "Chat with Librarian" service in this connection. Users can also search Library Worldwide holdings since MELVYL is powered by WorldCat. The Request function allows for ILL.

WorldCat An international library catalog containing the holdings of 50 thousands + member libraries world wide. Notes UCI holdings. You can use UCe-Links Request to order items not owned by UCI.
